%3Cp%3EOn 14 March 2019 the UK and a clear majority of the Organisation for the Prohibition
of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) Executive Council members voted against holding a vote
on a Russian proposal on the handling of a briefing by the Fact-Finding Mission (FFM).
The vote was called without prior notice. Instructions to the UK Delegation to the
OPCW issued in line with normal procedures. The FFM briefed States Parties on 5 March
on the findings of the Douma report and regular briefings are held, most recently
on 28 May, on the OPCW%27s work in Syria. We continue to have confidence in both our
own and the FFM conclusions into the chemical weapons attack in Douma on 7 April 2018.%3C/p%3E
